Elderly neighbor takes aim at children

Athens-Clarke police arrested a 74-year-old woman Thursday evening after she allegedly threw rocks from her front yard at two children and their baby-sitter across the street.

Aida Magarita Warren of 555 Sunset Drive already had been issued a "good behavior order" by an Athens-Clarke County Magistrate Court judge because of an ongoing dispute with her neighbors, according to police.

A 23-year-old University of Georgia student reported Warren threw rocks at her and the children as they played in their yard, police said.

Officers found Warren in her front yard armed with a scoped rifle, which turned out to be a BB gun, police said.

Rocks resembling those thrown into the neighbor's yard were found in the woman's hand bag, police said.

Warren was booked at Clarke County Jail at 7:43 p.m. on a stalking charge.
